So me looking at this site means I am a bigot ?
http://www.japparts.com/
Its so nice to see worldwide political correctness come to overflow. I think the term used orginally describes a group of car eunthusiasts or a type of car, not a slur on a language. I can see some people being offended at euro type deriviatives but here the whole issue has been blown out of context.

You utter facist, Steve!
Remove all references to that site, immeadiately. I can't belive anyone can be that insensitive!
Also, euro is an offensive slur and isn't an acceptable abbreviation for European.

touchy ground!! 
my bro is in living and teaching out in japan at the moment...
he sent me this email about how some of his friends are using the english language (but hey, well done to them too).
| Quote: | The English here is amazingly funny at times. I have a Union Jack biscuit tin lid hanging over my front door, which reads:
"The find fun in the things they do, is always a part of there fun."
And then there are the T-Shirts, the best two that have been spotted so far have had the following on the front:
GAY IRISH
And
I LIKE BIG DUMPS
I didn’t think it could get better than that, but then I received this months copy of the Society For Testing Enlgish Proficiency. One of the features is how versatile the word breast is. Of course the word breast caught my eye, so I skimmed the article with examples such as:
He breasted the top of the hill.
She felt a surge in her breast.
He likes big breasts.
He swims the breaststroke.
With a grammar explanation for each.
Then this beauty came up…
Music can soothe even the savage breast.
Yes, that’s right. Even the most untamed of breasts can be brought to attention by playing Bach. It even goes on to quote Congreve (1670 to 1729) as saying this exact sentence, before explaining in Japanese that wild monsters, called breasts in English, can be soothed by music. Pure genius. |

Appears it made a new post of my edit. Gee, 41 years of messing with computers and I still haven't got it right.

According to my favourite U.S. documentary series, The Simpsons, the correct term is "Americo-Australianian"
